Comment préparer Alton Brown's Bananas Foster
- Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in 1/4 cup banana liqueur and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Add 4 ripe bananas, halved lengthwise, to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute per side, carefully spooning the sauce over the bananas as they cook. The bananas should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Carefully remove the bananas from the skillet and set aside in a serving dish.
- Increase the heat to medium. Bring the sauce back to a simmer. Carefully add 1/4 cup dark rum.
- **Caution:** If the sauce is very hot, the alcohol will ignite spontaneously. If not, use a long kitchen match or lighter to carefully ignite the rum (stand back!). Allow the flames to burn until they die out (about 1-2 minutes). **Always be extremely cautious when using an open flame.**
- If the sauce is too thin, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until it reaches your desired syrupy consistency.
- Immediately spoon the hot sauce generously over the bananas.
- Serve immediately over vanilla ice cream, waffles, or crepes.
